It s Rodeo week in Redding and that means bulls and bucking broncos along with community activities celebrating the western way of life, including mock holdups, a community pancake breakfast and guys with yellow shirts and green bandanas.
But Janel Scott has an alternate message for fans of ropin and ridin .
The Redding woman wants the Redding Rodeo to stop. She says the annual competition and celebration of western heritage is cruel to animals. Somebody s got to take a stand for these animals. Because the closer it gets, the more emotional I get about it, because it s just heinous, she said. What they do to those animals, you know, and I get really super emotional about it.
